Child Protection in Emergencies: Priorities, Principles and Practices

Save the Children's emergency strategy
states that child protection interventions are to be part of every first
phase response and subsequent recovery. This document details both Save
the Children's current perspective on the main protection dangers that
children face in an emergency and how to address them. While this document
does not aim to provide an all-encompassing strategy, it does provide Save
the Children's alliance members and partners with a clear framework for
the protection of children in emergencies by outlining a common definition
and approach, programmatic priorities, useful programme examples, and the
relevant legal framework and standards. Finally, the document serves
as an extensive reference to additional guidelines, tools and other materials
useful to practitioners and policy-makers.
